My invention relates to undergarments tor ladies and children.

Its principai object ticle of apparel combining drawers.

A. further object is to rovide an undergarment which will fit t e form, designed to the proper measurements at difierent widths of the body and torso. With my novel garment thickness in the waist and elsewhere is reventcd.

ther objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the; mvention will be particularly pointed out in the ap ended claim.

My invention is il ustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the undergarment applied.

Fig. 2 is a vertlcal section of the same.

Fig. 3- is a transverse section online 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a transverse section on line 4-4 of Fig. 2, and v Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form. I

The same part is designated by the same reference numeral throughout the several is to provide an era slip with views wherein 5 is the undergarment as a whole having a top 6 with a pair 'of'shoulder straps 7. The top hem, Whether hemstitched or embroidered, is not a part of my inven tion. The garment ma be of any preferred 15 goods and color thoug a fashionable style 1n one of silk of pink, flesh colored or any shadeto match the outer costume, although I do not limit myself to any particular stitchin or color.

rom the top of the garment to some inserts (hereinafter described) the garment is substantially the same width. Below the waist 8 I attach a plurality of inserts. The present application shows two inserts 9 and tWo inserts 9' all of the same length; the inserts 9 are at the front and rear with the inserts 98 at the sides. Inserts 9 have a to 10. hese inserts 9 and 9? are of a peculiar to design somewhat in the shape of a trapezoid,

but having a notch or broad V in the top. An important feature of my invention is the shape of these inserts 9 and 9 which are not triangular in form havin the apex at the top, as is usually ado te By the 5g shapr and the design shown, t e hip line can 'follows: at the top designated as 15 and 21,

at the side numeraled 16 and 22 but not sewed at the bottom 17 and 23. At the bottom 17 of underportion 13 about midway is a split 18, which has sewed to it a flap 19, somewhat the form of a trapezoid, except that it is outwardly curved where secured at 18. This flap 19 allows more freedom when the wearer sits. Flap 19 has button holes or fastening members 20 at its freeend.

I also wish to bring out in the description that underportions13 and 14 are part-of the so undergarment and that inserts 9 are superimposed thereon in front and rear; in the sides are attached the inserts 9. The combination slip and drawers saves material to have underportions 13 and 14 as part of the undergarment 5 and this part may be utilized with other forms of garments.

Numeral 24 designates a cut-a-way and 25 are buttons or fastening devices to engage buttonholes 20 and connect the flap 19 to underportion 14 to form drawers.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 5-no top piece is shown. This form is used from the waist down. The top hem in this garment may be fitted in the front and back; fastened at one side with a button or fastening device; or may be fitted in the front, and elastic along the back to the hips. This view in Fig. 5 shows a bias fold 26 tofit 10o the form around the Waist, hut ll meke no claim to this feature.

The combined undergerment is for-fit tin The double thickness front and heck ma es the garment shadorwproot Where needed. lhe inserts at the sides are not put over other material as in the front and hack making a form-fitting garment, preventing thickness, and saving material Where not needed. The undergarment takes less goods than two independent garments, a slip and pants or drawers. The whole assembly is cool and may be quickly fashioned and sewed. It is inexpensive to make and has the qualities in an undergarment desired by many ladies and children.

It must be understood that only a preferred embodiment of my invention is herein shown and described and that any departure from the same, such as in size, shape or arrangement of parts may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of the invenition or the scope of the sulojoined claim.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent in the United States is:

An undergarmerit comprising a twist portion and a skirt portion, shoulder supporting means in the waist portion, and inserts including front andrback inserts in the skirt portion, all of said inserts extending to the bottom of the skirt portion and all having a notched top and tapered toward the Waist,

said front and back inserts each overlying an under-portion and a flap connecting the underportions to form drawers;
